Qtel and NSN partner up for Mobile TV
Bring on the Mobile TV deployments I say!
Qatar Telecom and Nokia-Siemens Networks (NSN) have agreed on the deployment of a DVB-H OMA BCast Smart Card Profile (SCP) Mobile TV platform – which apparently is claimed will be the first commercially-ready implementation.
As you may know OMA BCAST SCP is the variant of DVB-H that is gaining the most traction now, with the weight of all the major TV handset vendors behind it. In this case, the Nokia N96 is going to be deployed as the mobile receiving device.
As I said in an earlier post, I really must get an N96, and go test some commercial services (that may require some plane flights though as there ain’t no DVB-H love goin’ on in the UK!)

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
